Installing a Hard Disk Drive in the Mounting Bracket

You can install a new hard disk drive below the diskette drive in the mounting bracket once you have removed the bracket and drive from the computer. In order to fit in this space, your hard disk drive must be 1 inch high by 3.5 inches wide. If you have a larger hard disk drive, you can install it in one of the other drive bays.
